Come on folks get your entries in, its the East Bradford 15 at 10am on the V212 up at Boroughbridge. £8 entry fee and the first Thorper home is Club 15 mile champ 2011 and will hold the large silver trophy for a year.

Alas, I will not be defending my crown. Me and that lad of mine will be cycling in the Pyrenees for a week, you know Tourmalet, Marie Blanc, Aubisque, and all that stuff. Oh well good luck to all that enter, have a safe ride, and may the best Thorper win.
